Tamas, You might want to read Joachim's post more carefully - he's trying to help you, and I think he makes a good point. -Chad

the smallest positive floating point number x such that 1+x /= x? That would be the smallest positive number, woudn't it?
Do you mean the smalles postive number x with 1+x /= 1?
Hi Joachim,
Specifically, I would be happy with the smallest Double that makes the statement true. I need it as a convergence bound for an iterative algorithm. Anyhow, thanks for the clarification, but I would be happier with an answer.
